Neutrino monitoring of explosions for excluding fission yield
O. Benevides Rodrigues, N. S. Bowden, R. Carr +18
Nuclear fission produces neutrinos, so the absence of a neutrino signal can be used to set a limit on the fission content of an explosion. This capability could be employed on form…
A prototype reactor-antineutrino detector based on Li-doped pulse-shaping-discriminating plastic scintillator
O. Benevides Rodrigues, E. P. Bernard, N. S. Bowden +26
An aboveground 60-kg reactor-antineutrino detector prototype, comprised of a 2-dimensional array of 36 Li-doped pulse shape sensitive plastic scintillator bars, is described.…
Comprehensive Measurement of the Reactor Antineutrino Spectrum and Flux at Daya Bay
F. P. An, W. D. Bai, A. B. Balantekin +196
This Letter reports the precise measurement of reactor antineutrino spectrum and flux based on the full data set of 4.7 million inverse-beta-decay (IBD) candidates collected at Day…
CONFLUX: A Standardized Framework to Calculate Reactor Antineutrino Flux
Xianyi Zhang, Anosh Irani, Michael P. Mendenhall +6
Nuclear fission reactors are abundant sources of antineutrinos. The flux and spectrum of antineutrinos emitted by a reactor can indicate its activity and composition, suggesting po…
Measurement of Electron Antineutrino Oscillation Amplitude and Frequency via Neutron Capture on Hydrogen at Daya Bay
Daya Bay collaboration, F. P. An, W. D. Bai +197
This Letter reports the first measurement of the oscillation amplitude and frequency of reactor antineutrinos at Daya Bay via neutron capture on hydrogen using 1958 days of data. W…
